At that hospital, Depp visited patients admitted to the Pediatrics and Oncology ward. While there, he laughed with the children and never broke character, local newspaper El Diario Vasco reported at the time.
Depp previously visited hospitals' children's wards as Jack Sparrow around the world, from Vancouver, Paris, London, and Brisbane, Australia, to several cities in the U.S., per El Diario Vasco.
Depp famously portrayed Jack in the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise beginning with 2003's The Curse of the Black Pearl, alongside Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley.
He went on to reprise his role in four more Pirates films: Dead Man's Chest (2006), At World's End (2007), On Stranger Tides (2011) and Dead Men Tell No Tales (2017).
Following his highly publicized 2022 trial with ex-wife Amber Heard, Depp is navigating a return to acting that began with his 2023 movie Jeanne du Barry.
And of the planned Pirates of the Caribbean reboot, franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer told Entertainment Weekly back in May 2024, "If it was up to me, [Johnny] would be in it,"
"I love him. He's a good friend. He's an amazing artist and he's a unique look," Bruckheimer, 81, added of Depp. "He created Captain Jack. That was not on the page, that was him doing a little Pepé Le Pew and Keith Richards. That was his interpretation of Jack Sparrow."

The franchise's future has appeared up in the air since the release Dead Men Tell No Tales. A rep for Depp told PEOPLE in June 2022 that a report claiming he would return to the franchise was "false," but in July 2023, a source close to the actor said he could potentially return to the series.
In December 2024, Variety reported that Bruckheimer is developing two versions of a sixth Pirates movie in order to leave a potential path for Depp to return, citing anonymous sources. Margot Robbie was at one point attached to lead a Pirates movie.

Dakota Johnson's ‘Ex' Chris Martin Makes Appearance Amid Breakup Rumors
Coldplay star Chris Martin has made his first public appearance since rumors of his breakup with Dakota Johnson surfaced on the internet. The 48-year-old English singer was spotted taking a walk in New York City on June 16. Chris Martin, rumored to be Dakota Johnson's ex-boyfriend, was seen in New York City with his son, Moses Martin. For his casual stroll in NYC, Martin opted for business-casual attire, sporting a black T-shirt, a blazer, and aviator sunglasses (via E! Online). Meanwhile, rumors of Dakota Johnson and Chris Martin started surfacing on June 4, three days after the Coldplay frontman urged his fans to watch 'Materialists' in theaters. A source told People that the breakup 'feels final this time.' Insiders close to the couple had previously claimed that Martin and Johnson had 'taken breaks' in their seven-year-long relationship. But they were at a 'great place' even in 2024. A source claimed last year, 'Sure, they've had issues and taken breaks in the past, but things are great now.' The insider added, 'They both love their careers. They are balancing things the best they can.' As for the reason for their 'final' breakup, sources claim that the Madame Web star tried to work their relationship out several times. An insider told Page Six, 'Dakota has been desperate for her and Chris to work out for years.' 'Every time they broke up, she was devastated and in tears,' the insider stated. The source further alleged, 'They really tried to work through their issues, but the age gap was often a problem. She'd (also) expressed that she may want children in the future, whereas Chris is kind of done with that part of his life.' While both Johnson and Martin love each other deeply, the source claimed, 'things were just never lining up for them, and it was very up and down.' 'It was very up and down,' the source added. Despite the rumored split, it seems like the singer and Johnson have an amicable connection. On June 1, Martin mentioned Johnson's new work at his final show in Stanford, California. The Grammy winner had gushed, 'Be kind to yourself, be kind to each other. Don't forget to see Materialists!'

'Pirates of the Caribbean 6' Boss Cryptic on Johnny Depp's Potential Return
While the last film in the Pirates of the Caribbean series was released over eight years ago, fans have held out hope that it didn't mark the last time they'll see Jack Sparrow. Although little has been said publicly about a potential Pirates of the Caribbean 6, rumors signal that it remains a possibility. Fortunately, the latest comments from franchise producer Jerry Bruckheimer added a bit of fuel to that fire. While Bruckheimer addressed the potential for a sixth installment in the Pirates of the Caribbean series, he also addressed one other pivotal topic—the potential return of former cast members. This, of course, would include Johnny Depp, whose character Jack Sparrow has long been the face of the franchise. While promoting the upcoming F1: The Movie, Bruckheimer spoke with ScreenRant and first revealed that they're working on the screenplay and "really want to make" a sixth Pirates film. "We're working on a screenplay. Hopefully we'll get it right — and then we'll make it," Bruckheimer said. "We really want to make it, that's for sure." Then came the question of whether it'll feature new actors or the old cast, and Bruckheimer's cryptic response was noteworthy. "Well, not all new actors. We'll have some back..." Bruckheimer responded. "...I'm not going to tell you which ones — you'll have to guess." The comment grabbed plenty of attention, especially considering the names most would be curious about returning are Depp, Orlando Bloom and Keira Knightley. While fans certainly would have preferred a resounding "yes" to the topic of the sixth Pirates of the Caribbean being made and Depp's return, it's hard to envision the series going forward without Jack Sparrow. After all, what would Pirates of the Caribbean be without Depp's iconic character? If there have been conversations about his return, Bruckheimer is doing his best to keep it under wraps, but it won't slow down the fan buzz.'Pirates of the Caribbean 6' Boss Cryptic on Johnny Depp's Potential Return first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 17, 2025

James Gunn Deleted 'Superman' Scene After Social Media Reaction
If you ever think your social media feedback goes unnoticed, Superman director and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn proved otherwise. While it's uncommon for a movie director to take note of fan feedback from a trailer or movie clip that's released, Gunn is apparently the outlier. The highly anticipated movie has released several clips and different trailers before its July 11 release date, but one specific moment caught the eye of fans. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Gunn was asked about the clip of David Corenswet, who portrays Superman, flying, which social media believed was a "CG superimposed thing." To his credit, the Superman director admitted the clip "kind of got by" him and was meant as a TV commercial. "It was a TV commercial and it wasn't a finished visual effects shot. So the part of him flying, it was a photograph of his face and him flying," Gunn explained. "It was a photograph of a drone flying in front of an actual background. So all the pieces were real, but it was incorporated in kind of a funky way." "I didn't love the shot, so it's not even the shot that's in the movie. Sometimes I'm pretty strict about when I'm going through a trailer and looking at each of the shots, but sometimes the commercials, I forget to look at this closely. So that one kind of got by me." Screen Rant revealed the moment referenced in the interview: While it's unlikely that Gunn was combing through social media responses, he seemed fully aware of the fan reactions to the moment. Whether that clip would be cut from the film regardless or would have been included is unknown, but the reactions to it were noteworthy, and Gunn seemed to realize as much. To Gunn's credit, with every Superman trailer or clip that surfaced, the intrigue and hype around the upcoming film have continued to intensify. The early prospects point to Superman having tremendous success at the box office, but we'll know for sure in the coming Gunn Deleted 'Superman' Scene After Social Media Reaction first appeared on Men's Journal on Jun 19, 2025
